It's a Monday and I hope these silly birdbrains will cheer you up a bit. This is for the From the Heart Stamps Monthly Challenge, and I just adore all of the fun and inspiration there too. Check them all out when you have a minute!

If you tuned in yesterday, you'll understand my reference to trains...and this is the best I could come up with was a train of birdies! Of course I'm also listening to Cat Stevens this morning to wake me up too. If you're a fan of his, you know the song Peace Train. Love!

It's Friday...I'm tired...I'm not sure I even like the colors I used here...and the glue isn't even dry yet on my bow :( but I've got to get my big butt in the shower, slap a smile on my face and finish out the work week!

I just realized yesterday I posted a card with a car on it, today it's a plane, so I wonder now if I have a train for tomorrow that I could make something with to round it all out...I'll have to think about that!

Anyway, I'm sharing with you today a stair-step card that we made at a CTMH party last Saturday. I just love how it all turned out, and we had a great time making it. Of course we all had to put our own spin on it too. Thanks to Ronah's creativeness, and to Shelly for being the hostess with the most-est!!

Who doesn't love Diner food, right? We have a Mel's Diner here in Phoenix, but I can't say I was very impressed with it. But Waffle House...oh ya baby...love. it. Still one of the best (cheap) breakfasts in town!

We had a bit more rain here yesterday and of course some flash flooding to go with it. Not nearly as much as last week, but everyone was sure on guard and a bit nervous about it too. Umbrellas and raindrops are certainly on my mind, can you tell? :)

We're halfway through September already, which means it's time for more inspiration to join us in the Hambo Hoedown Kids Challenge this month. I let the background paper do most of the work on this one, using another adorable Hambo Stamp!

This sweetie reminds me of Pebbles from the Flintstones, remember? Lots of fun coloring and then the perfect sketch (rotated) to use it with. I love when that happens! Did you notice the dragonfly? Make it a great Monday!

I love coffee, cake and new blog challenges too!

Today's card is for two challenges; the sketch is from Mojo Monday, but the inspiration comes from this photo at a new challenge that just started at - If You Give a Crafter a Cookie. Fresh Brewed Designs is the sponsor, so of course I had to use my favorite FBD digital stamp.

Wow what a sketch to play with this week at Splitcoaststampers! This one had my head swimming...haha for a little bit, but I guess I'm alright with how it all came together. I do love the darling fish couple tho!

Hi there! No I haven't floated away in all of the rain here in Phoenix! Yikes, what a crazy day it was yesterday. If you watch the news I'm sure you saw the videos of cars floating down our highways. Driving a Beetle was not in my favor, but all is well again for me. I know others are still dealing with a bit of a mess and my heart goes out to them. Please send some positive thoughts their way.I figured a bird with a bit of water of some sort would be fitting considering, and Pink Petticoat has a new set so of course ya knew I had to get it! Have an awesome day!Digital Image - Pink Petticoat-Flirty FlamingoCard Base - Stampin' UpDP - Cosmo Cricket/Twenty-Three 6x6Other Stuff - ProMarkers, corner rounder, sequins, burlap string, edge distresser, foam tape, and white glue.

Happy Monday!...ugh....Since the weekend was too darn busy for me to get anything crafty done on my own, I'm sharing another card from our Stampin' Up class from Friday night. It's another winner in my book!

Thanks again to our wonderful Stampin' Up consultant Kelly for designing another fun card!

I'm sharing with you today a card that I made last night at a Stampin' Up cardmaking class. I just love the colors and especially the sentiment. This was designed by an awesome demonstrator ~ Thanks Kelly for the fun and for your patience!
